“Sick” (With elephant)

Sick

Each twin of shiver
(shiver)
dotes
on bed, a trademark cold
branding throat
with slogan too sharp
to swallow; I pay instead
through the nose.

A quick and kind of silly poem for the Real Toads “get listed” prompt hosted by Fireblossom.  I am suffering, in fact, from a text book cold, which has the great benefit of excusing adherence to New Year’s resolutions!

Those wierd crinkly grey ghosts are meant to be kleenexes.  (Sorry!) Take care.
